Architecture is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings and other physical structures. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements.

Architectural photography is the photographing of buildings and similar structures that are both aesthetically pleasing and accurate representations of their subjects.

Digital images showed in this gallery were mostly shot with Canon lenses, such as EF24-70mm f/2.8L II, Canon EF17-40mm f/4L, as well as Sigma lens, 18-35mm F1.8 DC. These images have often some distorted lines, but in post-processing, they have been corrected for the perspective with Lightroom. That means, the missing pixels have been “invented” by the post-processing program. If you want to avoid that, you have to use a lens that can be “shifted.” Canon calls them TS-E lenses (tilt/shift).

Tilt/shift lenses are one of the main tools for architectural photography, which enable photographers to overcome the restrictions of depth of field and perspective, making them a must for certain landscape, architecture and product photography.
